what a great score and patience wins the car.  Have a great time brining her back to life.
Congratulations

So how's that retirement going ?

Retirement is a job and best taken seriously.

Wishing you all the best. 

Thanks for sharing.  To think when I was in Denver I had an extra day and missed this. 

Thanks everyone for your input.  I found my wing nuts.
When I removed them I had forgotten I put them in a safe place.
So safe I couldn't remember where until a passenger in my truck noticed them
in the armrest pocket.

Thanks Corey,

I googled them and hope I got it correct for AMK.....
AMK Products Winchester PA fasteners

I recently lost my original wing style bolts to the top of the air cleaner plate.
thought I put them in my pocket but obviously screwed that up....

My mechanic commented that they are slightly larger than most you will find at Home Depot
or places like that.
Any idea who or where to go to find a replacement set? 

Thanks for sharing all good to know.

Always comes to mind lately.....
"if is seems to good to be true it probably is"

With the exception of Randy of course.....

Thanks everyone as I reached out to Jeff
Appreciate all the input

I missed this one due to prior obligations.
How was the show ?
Hopefully it was a good turnout.  Any details one can share?
How many from the LA Club or surrounding showed up?

Are there any SAAC judges in Los Angeles area ?
I ask as I'd like to hire one to view a 1968 Shelby.

Figured the best place to post this was here, but maybe not.
Any suggestions ?
thanks

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this....

I would like to pay a judge to score my Shelby 68 350GT.
Identify to be sure it is what I believe it to be.
I live in the Los Angeles area and love any referrals or references.
Thank you in advance.
Jeff

Well said Shelbydoug !!!

If you are still standing on the sidelines and have not registered your Shelby of any year please do so.

I'll leave it at that.

Based on what I see in the Registry 2020 maybe 60% missing in action. 
I am surprised to learn on this thread how many are just tucked away without being registered.


I remember my Porsche days going to the dismantler and inquiring how he can possibly have all these "brand new" turbo parts. 
His reponse was great.  Most Turbos that are totaled have less than 500 miles on them as everyone can get up to speed only knowing how to apply the brakes properly keeps them from being totaled.

My guess is the same happened back in the day with most Shelby's just my opinion.

I'll have to report back having just received my 2020 1968 Register.
At first glance there seem to be a lot of "missing" or not current going back decades.

It will be a while before I can report back - for anyone interested.......

Barrett Jackson was a frenzy IMO-
Seemed like red ruled the day.

Shelbyman1970---- nice selection of rides ----love all the red.....

just looked at some old paperwork as curious and seems that the repaint to red took place in 1994. 
Late 80's early 90's seem to be all about red.
